Step 1: Visit Your Dentist
During this first step you will need to make an appointment with an Invisalign®
Certified Dentist.
During the initial visit, your dentist will help you
decide on your course of treatment. He will take bite impressions
of your teeth and send them, along with a set of precise
instructions, to Invisalign®.
|
 |
Step 2: Invisalign® Makes Your
Aligners
Invisalign®
uses advanced 3-D computer imaging technology to
transform your bite impressions into a custom-made series of clear
and removable aligners. There may be as many as 48 in the series or
as few as 12, depending on your individual treatment plan.
|
 |
Step 3: You Receive Your Aligners
in a Few Weeks
During your next visit to your dentist, you will receive your first set
of aligners. Your dentist will most likely give you a few additional sets for you
to wear before you return for your next visit.
|
 |
Step 4: You Wear Your Aligners
You'll wear each set of
aligners day and night for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat,
drink, brush, and floss. Total treatment time averages 9-15 months,
but will vary from case to case. You'll visit your dentist only about every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is
progressing as planned.

Step 5: You've Finished The Treatment
Congratulations! When
you're finished wearing each aligner in the series, your treatment
will be complete and you will have the beautiful smile you've always
wanted. |
